Firstly - Gene Ennis and Laura Jane Lucas's idea for the Valentine's Day theme went off brilliantly - and they put all the work in to make it happen - brilliant: lots of decorations, kissing at the start line (which was ok, or quite nice, very nice actually, can we do this every race?) however the icicles (erm, snotsicles) at the finish caused some hmmm, erm, drawback: as Kyla Boivin put it "up here, way up here above my cheekbone, and keep that mess in your beard away from me, Birch"
12 mile:
Drag n Fly floated through with 5 dogs to take 1 & 2, whilst Doggone Kennel dream 5 dog team with guest monkey Birch took third. Snowpigs' Assman and Emma drove through the treacle to take 4th whilst lightweight floater Aleena Rueckenbach drove her 5 dog team to 5th.
Debbie Last wasn't , and picked up 10 blocks of Icy Waters Ltd Arctic Charr dogfood for "best dressed Valentine's Day sled" - ha! that'll get you decorating next year!
Kids
Jeff Diment finished 1st against Larissa Ruekenbach which we think (but we are a bit tired) means Jeff has sewn up the Kid's league. Well done both of you, and Larissa, get your Dad to volunteer next race so you can pick up some of Yukon Brewing's $$$$ for a league place!
Pet dog
Guard dog vs Bird dog - Asha the Rottie took on Chance the Griffon whilst their monkeys pretended to do something important on skis. Rumour has it Jon actually creased his new jacket.
Asha 1, Chance 0
With 40 points from 4 races and her monkey volunteering in the 12 mile, and 2 races to go it's all over: Asha is Queenie of the Pet Dog League, Season 2008-2009, and $125 from yukon Brewing will find it's way into Jon's pocket ("Hey! That's mine!" says Asha) on March 22nd!
All kennels should have a freight puller - Asha's winning's have made sure Snowpigs havn't actually needed to pay out any cash for dog food so far this season! They pay for themselves, and pick up cash in the CHT Pet Dog!
Results soon!!!
Thanks to everyone, volunteers, monkeys, DOGS, for coming out and making it a great day!
